"we removed bind to left click for instant skills"

So we got a bunch of 'fixes' for terrible ideas that were implemented as part of this league... but radio silence as far as reverting the LMB change. Pretty sad to be honest.

agreed that it's an AWFUL decision... I was replicating my previous build, wasted money on the useless gem. Thanks...

This change is proving to be a pain. With the new league its just another little thing, that adds to the reasons that make the game less fun. It feels like a step backwards to the non automated flask days.

Just died again to this bug with the input caused by this change.

Just revert it. I'm 100% certain it's the root cause of the input bug so many of us are seeing.

I had several of game crashes when I left click in the inventory in the town. So, probably you are right.

learn for last epoch

Anti QOL change in a supposed QOL league, coupled with the most convoluted, time wasting, anti-QOL crafting mechanic imaginable.


GGG: We want you out of your hideout and playing the game!

Also GGG: By playing the game we mean standing in a graveyard burying corpses (Gravedigger simulator) and then the rest of the time on trade trying to buy the corpses you need.

Are you trying to demonstrate that you can assign left click to move and perform a skill assigned to a hotkey? That would break TOS and it would mean that second key would activate whenever you left clicked outside of POE.

This screenshot is from ArmA 3 by Bohemia Interactive. It just shows how properly keyboard mapping should be made. I can bind several keys to the same action or bind one key to the several actions. Or combine both methods. For example Fire + Hold Breath binded to LMB is very useful if you're machinegunner.

Oh wait, it's not PoE.

PoE is a game based on Chris Willson vision from 90's.

GGG philosophy is that for EVERY good step forward, at least one step back must be given, its their idea of combating the power creep and keeping players'power in check

So they give a pair of gems people were asking for years, but they must take something of at least equal worth away, least the players become more powerful

At least, im quite positive thats the idea they cant quite mention...


This tread reminds me of the reveal on twitch, were chat went berserk about LMB and the guys on-screen just kept ignoring the issue and talking about random crap(and presumibly, thanking the heavens there was no live audience to shout)

"Everyone hated that"

Seriously though, I can only assume this change is one of two possibilities.

1) This is coming from one person who makes a blanket decision which ruins it for everyone else

2) This is a server cost calculation savings.

For every person trying to activate a skill on left click, while it is in use or on cooldown, probably requires a server action in of itself. That takes time to calculate "hey, I can't do this yet"

Given that the fact of "moving" with left click generally sends like 4 ticks per second, that's roughly once every 250ms.

Multiply that by say, 85% of the player base, and you get a very large number.


Yet the argument comes into play, this was fine for how many years?

Why is this change being made now, with no explanation whatsoever?

not sure if anyone already mentioned it - not going to scroll through 14 pages of 'feedback'. please do something about the god awful shout every 5 secs, i am going mad if i hear it spam one more time. i know i know can always 'turn it off' ya i have to do that now and then i need to remember to on it when i am back into maps. quality of life 'feature' - thats total bull crap i now have to do more things and its getting on my nerves. why fix something that's aint broken in the first place.

it was a beautiful function or bug what you call it, i play poe solely for use on move instant skill, in fact i cant get used to it when i play other arpg that doesnt have this. please for the sanity of me i dont speak for others but hope they feel the same just revert back this thing. its not a shame to revert there's many people that do it nowadays and you are even applauded for admitting it was a huge mistake in the first place.

if that's really not possible then suggestions to fix this incessant shouting - either shout on first time activating and then silence it all the way, or make the sound really negligible until its no longer nerve wracking as is it now.
